I was born and raised in the midwest. I have been happily married for 27 years and we have two sons- one in the Air Force fulltime and the other in high school. I have been employed at a large health care center as long as I have been married and currently work at a cardiology clinic.
I obtained my black belt in TaeKwonDo in my late 30s. I have lead workshops on self defense with children and young adults. I believe that self defense starts with self awareness, the ability to thoroughly sense your surroundings. I teach basic avoidance behaviors and I also stress knowing what action to take when threatened.
My website is: SelfDefense-4-Women.com
Contrary to the title I believe that anyone- no matter their gender- can learn from these techniques.
